Thoughts on writing, reading, and poetry. With the occasional diversion, bien sûr.

Poetry Updates

Let's see . . .

As I mentioned before, my poem, "A Place to Share", is going to be in the forthcoming anthology from Kane Miller, Dare to Dream . . . Change the World. It's paired with a poem by my friend Laura Purdie Salas, and keeping company with poems by lots of other children's poets whom I admire, including Bruce Coville. You can see the artwork that will accompany Bruce's poem at Jill Corcoran's blog. (In addition to being one of my fellow poets in the anthology, Jill is its editor as well.)

About Me

I'm a poet and children's book author. My current projects are a biography of Jane Austen written in verse using period forms and an early middle grade novel involving garden gnomes. (And yes, these are separate projects. Thus far, I've found no evidence of interaction between Jane Austen and any gnomes.)
